Problem With Lan Connection?

Question

I have built a home LAN connection between two computers with a crossover LAN cable, my ADSL internet connection is also shared between two PCs, now I have a problem with internet browsing, in the main computer I can go where ever I want, But in the second computer some sites are unreachable. For example gmail, yahoo mail, some fire fox plug-in which are available online, Google earth and so on are impossible to open, please if every one knows the problem, inform me. I try changing LAN connections options a lot, but the problem still exists.

note that my ie explorer does not works at all, only fire fox can go to some pages

I dont know what is the problem, when i use C-Proxy ie explorer is working. I thing it has some thing to do with the ip and ports because C-Proxy change the proxy setting of ie.

You didn't mention whether you are using ICS or a router to share the internet connection. If you are using ICS please check out trouble shooting at the following URL.

Preparing for ICS
The ICS server computer must have two network connections: one for the Internet, and one for the local area network. The Internet connection may be a dial-up (PPP or ISDN), cable modem, DSL, or other broadband Ethernet connection. The LAN connection may be a wired, wireless, or even a USB Ethernet connection. Before enabling ICS:


Set up your Internet connection and test it so that you know you can connect to the Internet.

Decide whether to allow client computers to control the server's Internet connection using the Internet Gateway. This feature is automatically available on clients running Windows XP. On clients running Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Me, you must run XP's Network Setup Wizard to enable the gateway. If you have a Windows XP CD-ROM, you can run the Wizard from it. Otherwise, create a network setup disk containing the Wizard files.

Enabling ICS on the Server Computer

You can enable ICS either manually or by using XP's Network Setup Wizard.

To use the Wizard, see our page on Server Setup Using the Network Setup Wizard. You must use this method if you need to create a network setup disk.


You can also enable ICS manually for a dial-up Internet connection or enable ICS manually for a broadband Internet connection.

Configuring ICS Client Computers

Now configure the other networked computers as ICS clients. Follow these links for computers running Windows 95 or Windows 2000 Professional. For Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, or Windows XP, stay with these instructions for XP Client Wizard.

Answer 3

i think some restrictions would have been made in the connection ... you give the full rights to access this server computer ... then check whether any sites have been blocked in the internet options ( control panel ) ... after that you try again ...

hope it would work ...

Answer 5

this wouldnt have to do with your lan, this would have to do with the computer that is having problems...,
try deleting all the temporary internet files:
go to 'Tools'
'Internet Options...'
then click the 'Delete Cookies...'
then click 'Delete files.'
hit 'OK' and try to go to those sites again

Answer 6

sounds like a firewall problem, try adding each one in the firewall to allow permissions,,,,,just a thought !
